Chapter 415: Expired Artist

418, Expired Artists

When Tang Wen drove to the interview site, the scene was already crowded. Pang Di insisted that Tang Wen not go to "help" and just told him to wait outside.

In order not to attract attention, Tang Wen parked the car in the underground parking lot of the hotel. Pang Di gave Tang Wen a farewell kiss and happily prepared to go for the interview.

Tang Wen waved to JA in the distance and asked them to follow him up to take a look.

"Oh my god, so many people?" Tang Wen, who came to this kind of actor audition site for the first time, was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

Because Tang Wen took the VIP channel, the original conference room next to it was temporarily turned into an audition site. At this time, there were already a sea of ​​people, probably hundreds of people.

Among them, Tang Wen also found many "old faces". Just as Tang Wen was watching with relish, a voice came.

"Old Tang, why are you here?"

Tang Wen looked back and found that it was Qin Feng, so he wondered, "Why are you here too?"

"Hehe, my sister insisted on coming to see me, what about you?" Qin Feng said awkwardly.

Tang Wen smiled secretly and said, "I am here with my girlfriend for the audition."

"Girlfriend? The Fatty Di from the Shanghai Film Academy?" Qin Feng asked slowly. There were only a few people in Shanghai who could be called girlfriends by Tang Wen. The scale of this audition was relatively large, so the person Tang Wen accompanied was definitely a "serious" academic school.

So among Tang Wen's many girlfriends, only the Fatty Di he met last time was more suitable.

"Well, what's going on? So many people?" Tang Wen wondered as he looked at the sea of ​​people.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Old Tang, you don't know, the current market is difficult to mix. This audition is the script of the Huaxia Film and Television Bureau, and several directors from Ma Dapao's side are also here to select people."

"So many directors are here? Isn't this a play?" Tang Wen wondered.

Qin Feng was speechless: "Old Tang, don't you watch the news?"

Tang Wen shook his head and said: "I haven't really paid much attention to it recently."

Qin Feng explained: "There are a total of three movies casting this time, one is the "congratulatory film" of the Huaxia Film and Television Bureau, and the remaining two are the scripts of Director Ma Dapao and Director Lao Zhang. When these two people come out, those big and small stars will not flock to it?"

"Oh, so that's the case, I thought something was wrong." Tang Wen nodded.

It turns out that this time, in order to regulate the film market, the Huaxia Film and Television Bureau has taken out 500 million yuan of capital to shoot a real "congratulatory film", and Lao Zhang and Ma Dapao are invited by Huaying Film Company.

It is said that one is a science fiction film and the other is a comedy. Although the cost is only about 100 million and 150 million, it is already a big "splash" in the current depressed film and television industry.

This time, not only many old actors heard the news, but also some young actors also wanted to come and show their faces. The difference is that the old actors are aiming at the scripts of the two directors, while the young actors are looking for the "congratulatory film".

"What's going on? Traffic artists don't make money anymore?" Tang Wen was puzzled after hearing what Qin Feng said.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Everyone wants to make money, but Xiaohua Xiaocao now wants an "attitude" to show off to the Huaxia Film and Television Bureau so that they can be familiar with the audience."

"Oh, so you want to show your attitude to the Huaxia Film and Television Bureau." Tang Wen finally understood why the old actors went for money and reputation, and Xiaohua Xiaocao would rather go to the Huaxia Film and Television Bureau with less pay.

Not only that, many Hong Kong artists and Taiwan artists came to the audition this time, and everyone was preparing for a "show" opportunity for their "comeback".

"You are laughing so happily, is there an inside story?" Tang Wen looked at the smirking Qin Feng and wondered.

Qin Feng sighed, "What do you think? Some important roles have already been "predetermined", and now it's just a formality to select a few small roles."

"Fuck, this is just a catwalk." Tang Wen was speechless.

Qin Feng said disdainfully: "Of course, those who are obedient will get candy, and those who are disobedient will have to go out and drink the northwest wind. This phenomenon is very normal."

Tang Wen nodded and said nothing more. After all, the number of people working in the film and television industry is not ordinary. The number of extras in Tang Wen's film and television city has exceeded tens of thousands, not to mention the former "traffic" artists.

"Why are there so many former Hong Kong artists?" Tang Wen looked at the familiar "fat man" not far away and Cai Fen, who was called "the most miserable Hong Kong lady", and said speechlessly.

Qin Feng's mouth twitched and said: "Old Tang, you are really devoted to the people in front of you. Don't you know about the "crying miserably" incident that broke out a few days ago by the artists in Hong Kong?"

"Crying miserably? What's the situation?" Tang Wen said in surprise.

Qin Feng didn't say much, but silently told Tang Wen a series of things that happened a few days ago. It turned out that a few days ago in a program on Hong Kong KT TV station, many artists collectively cried about the stingy behavior of KT TV station, and some even recorded a gathering.

Liu Hua, a former superstar singer in Hong Kong, also came out to "denounce" KT TV's stingy behavior. For a time, artists in Hong Kong were on strike.

How stingy is KT TV? Let's put it this way, once an artist named Zhang filmed a TV series, the advertising fees alone brought KT TV more than 400 million in revenue, not to mention other things.

But what about the artist Zhang? He worked for a year on a 30-episode TV series and only got more than 80,000 yuan in total. For this, the artist Zhang fell seriously ill. He thought that the second part would increase his salary, but at this time, KT TV still gave him 90,000 yuan a year, which made the artist Zhang angry and announced that he would no longer cooperate with KT TV.

What is the concept of 90,000 yuan? A taxi driver can earn more than him in a year with a little effort. You should know that the artist Zhang is the "pillar" of KT TV. Even he is treated like this, as for other people, you can imagine it.

There is even a joke in the Hong Kong entertainment circle: "Filming at KT TV in the morning and parking at the door of the nightclub at night." Although it is a joke, many people from KT TV have to work to earn a living after get off work.

This is why more and more Hong Kong artists have gone to the mainland of China to develop. There is no way to survive with the prices and wages in Hong Kong.

So now when China is preparing to start a big production, there are so many Hong Kong artists and artists from Taiwan scrambling to audition.

"The boss of KT TV station is also a talent." Tang Wen was a little amused. He had seen stingy people before, but this was the first time he was so stingy.

"It's boring, let's go out for a drink?" Tang Wen looked around and found that there was nothing interesting, so he planned to ask Qin Feng to go out for a drink together.

"Goodbye, my sister is still watching the fun inside, Old Tang, you go first." Qin Feng said apologetically.

"Okay." Tang Wen didn't say much, and planned to go out for a drink first. As soon as he walked to the door, he was touched by a woman wearing a mask.

Tang Wen frowned, and JA and others next to him immediately surrounded him.

"Bad, bad." Seeing this, the middle-aged woman who looked like an assistant next to the woman ran over to smooth things over. JA ignored the middle-aged woman at all, but turned to look at Tang Wen and waited for the boss's order.

"Let's go." Tang Wen waved his hand, didn't say anything more, turned around and took JA and others away.

"Interesting, she's here too." The familiar tattoo appeared in his mind, and Tang Wen smiled.

After the middle-aged woman saw the group of men in black leave, she said with lingering fear: "Zhizhi, you scared me to death just now. We are in the mainland now, so you should control your temper."

"I know." The woman called Zhizhi replied with a snort. Seeing her arrogant expression, the middle-aged woman sighed helplessly.
